I forgot to thank GS for his past Oxyclean suggestion. I had some very set in collar rings on shirts that I assumed were far beyond repair... I made a "paste" from OC and water, rubbed it on the collar for a minute or two, and sit for about 10 minutes. Then, I let the shirts soak in some very hot water for a few hours. Took them out of the OC soak, and machine washed them with standard detergent, and the difference was amazing. There was still some "ring" left on one shirt...

As much as I'd love to do the Saucemaster/Bobo look, and I have tried it in the past, it's just something that's difficult for me to pull off. Not that I have a lumpy head, thank god. My thick eyebrows, square-ish head, and glasses (I can't get contacts to work) just make things look "off". However, a shaved head is amazing beneficial when you're in a rush to get out the door in the morning, and saving money on haircuts, hair products, etc.
Maybe with time, I'll come to...

I'd like to avoid the drug and chemical route. Seems like a large waste of money too.

Don't do this: I knew a guy who passed out his home phone number to everyone in the office when he was introduced to them on the first day, along with telling them something along the lines of lets hang out after work someday...
When I heard he was canned a few months ago for "inappropriate behaviour" it didn't surprise me.

I don't cycle or run as much as you do, but stairs still take the wind out of me.

I'm 26. My hair is straight, and quite dense. The strands of hair aren't thick, but they aren't thin either. About 10 months ago, I started noticing my hair falling out very frequently. If I ran my fingers through my hair, I would count 5-10 strands of 1-1.5" long hair between my fingers. The hair falling out was very thin - much thinner than the majority of the hair on my head. If I ran my fingers through my hair again, another 5-10 strands would fall out.
